Does anyone know any gas-saving tips?????

Question

Also.......a friend of mine was thinking about investing in a hydrogen fuel cell. Does anybody know how effective that is?

Answer 1

Don't use the hydrogen booster. Drive less. Limit your RPMs to under 2000. Accelerate slowly and decelerate slowly. If you need to brake less, you will waste less momentum and save fuel. Drive less. Pick the best route before hand, drive a more fuel efficient car and eliminate extra weight (even losing a few pounds yourself can help). Use the AC at high speed and open the windows at lower speeds.

Answer 2

Take any unnecessary extra baggage out of your car. Buy a smaller car with a shift control. Avoid using the a/c and open windows if you need to cool off.

Sorry, I don't know much about hydrogen fuel cells.

Answer 3

Move closer to work, school, church, country club, soccer fields...

Plan ahead.  Drive less.  Consolidate trips.  Pack a lunch.  Walk.

Answer 4

Biking is great as well as walking. Car pooling works well. Simply using your car less or doing things in a different way, even if it means it isn't easier or as easy.

Answer 5

The hydrogen fuel cell thing or hho or whatever they are calling it now is a con.

Answer 6

Some of the above ides are good, I recommend the device called a “scan gauge 2”

The scan gauge attaches to all cars 1996 and newer without modifying anything. (hooks to your computer readout).

The device gives real time read out of your mileage and if you pay attention to it you will learn driving habits that save money.

About $180 deliverd.  (no I don’t sell them).

My dad installed one and brags about the increase in mileage every time he calls me, says he saves $25 a week or more.

I have a car and a small truck using supplemental hydrogen, both are healthy and get better mileage. However do extensive homework before thinking about hydrogen boost. there are a lot of poor units out there right now, the right unit can save you money.

Hope this helps
